- Behind the Wireless: A History of Early Women in the BBC (105,000 words) is the first and only book that explores the role of women within the BBC. Women’s voices and experiences are largely hidden within corporate archives and Behind the Wireless is based on extensive research that draws on numerous previously unseen primary documents and resources. As well as analysing women’s and men’s work at the BBC, in terms of social class, age, regionality and marital status, the book also compares the BBC’s treatment of its female staff with other interwar professions such as teaching and the Civil Service.
